I'm not sure about anilist, but for yamtrack I setup the Jellyfin integration/webhook.
Check the integrations in Jellyfin settings.
I might give Yamtrack a try, thank you!
Update: Yamtrack is great, thanks for the suggestion! I haven't gotten the webhook to work yet though but I haven't had much time to troubleshoot.
Just last weekend I fired up Floppy a fork of Yamtrack. The settings include a guide to set up webhook integration with Jellyfin which works great.
Wasn't sure which of the two to go for but Floppy looks to have more features & in case of issues it seems backup/restore is interchangeable between Floppy & Yamtrack.
Works really well for my needs.
What are the differences? I always wish forks would state how they are different, but this one pretty much just says it "diverged substantially". Is it significant features were missing? Is it a different ethical or licensing model or different views on "vibe coding"? I'm always turned off by a project with a long AGENTS.md. It usually means "AI" is not well controlled if that much guidance is needed just for preferred coding style. And that typically means usually poor efficiency, stability, and security in exchange for fast feature implementation.
Yeah I had those same concerns too, it's why I mentioned the import/export being interchangeable with Yamtrack.
Expanded rest API, an MCP, and the webhook options and integrations are significantly expanded.
